10 Biggest WWE Plot Holes

There's a hole in your logic.

Nothing we see in a WWE ring makes all that much sense when you really sit down and think about it. At least half the roster should be serving a lengthy prison sentence for attempted murder, for one thing.

But, generally, you're prepared to forgive realism lapses of this kind. As with superhero movies, the main thing is that they conform to the internal logic of their own universe, ensuring that plot devices like, for example, the introduction of a random new power are properly explained to the audience.

It's a lot easier for the Spiderman franchise to stay on top of all of this than WWE, though. They only produce a two-hour movie once every couple of years, whereas Vince McMahon and co churn out four programs a week. It's almost inevitable, under these constraints, that they will trip themselves up once or twice along the way.

And, whenever they do leave gaping logic holes in their storylines - or else just completely forget to resolve an angle in front of the cameras - it's the fans' duty to point it out...

10. Sister Abigail

From not particularly auspicious beginnings, last year's Tables, Ladders & Chairs ended up being one of the best pay-per-views of the whole wrestling calendar, a large part of which is attributable to the last-minute substitution which saw AJ Styles replace Bray Wyatt.

The Phenomenal One's match against Finn Bálor was, well, phenomenal, but it did lack one thing that a bout featuring Wyatt might have offered, namely the much-anticipated debut of Sister Abigail, a mysterious entity we'd been hearing about for the last four years.

On the night, many of us assumed that Abigail's WWE bow would merely be delayed by a few weeks. After all, Bray had summoned her from the Family Compound specifically to meet Finn's Demon King - surely they would simply reschedule for another time?

Alas, that hasn't happened yet. On his return to the ring, The Eater of Worlds instead entered into a long-term storyline with Woken Matt, and we're no nearer an explanation as to why the inspiration for his finishing move was happy to slip back into the shadows unseen.
